Definitions

  • the present invention relates to household appliances, such as dishwashers, cooking appliances, refrigeration appliances and machines for the treatment of textile garments.
  • the invention has been developed with particular reference to the so-called equipments "built-in” appliances or, more in general, intended to be inserted or integrated in furniture of a household environment, such as a kitchen.
  • the appliance is often inserted between two stackable pieces of furniture, on which lies a common worktop, or "top"; in correspondence of the front of the appliance may be provided a decorative panel, such as a panel that covers the structure of the dishwasher's door.
  • the kitchen furniture as well as built-in household appliances, generally have a lower part recessed in correspondence of the front, wherein as is the custom to fasten a skirting-board.
  • skirting-boards commonly prepared by furniture manufacturers have, in correspondence of its back, a seat or guide which is engageable by relative fastening means, used for fastening the skirting-board itself to furniture or to household appliances.
  • the recessed lower part of the front of a household appliance does not necessarily coincide with the recessed portion of the front of the adjacent furniture, in terms of depth. For this reason, must be allowed a certain possibility of adjustment of the fastening means of the skirting-board to the lower part of the front of the household appliance.
  • the fastening devices used for fixing a skirting-board at the front of a household appliance are generally of complicated conception and not easy installation.
  • a built-in household appliance should be installed at one end of the modular furniture.
  • a decorative side panel is mounted in correspondence of the flank of the appliance which is located in correspondence of the end of the modular furniture.
  • a relative skirting-board is mounted in correspondence of the lower part of the flank of the appliance.

  • Both the dishwasher 1 and the furniture 2 have, in the lower part of the respective front, a part generically recessed 6, 7, in correspondence of which a common skirting-board, indicated as a whole with 8 must be mounted. Still referring to the represented example, a decorative panel side, indicated with 10 is designed to be applied to the flank 9 of the dishwasher 1.
  • the lateral panel 10 has a height less than that of the flank of the dishwasher, in such a way that even in the lower part of the flank 9 can be installed a skirting-board 11, aesthetically congruent - for example in terms of color - with the skirting-board 8.
  • the flank of a household appliance does not necessarily have a recess in correspondence of the lower part, as in the exemplified case.

  • connection part 32 can be elastically or snap engaged on the coupling part 22b of the component 22d of Figure 4 , so that said steps 32b engage substantially at the interface area between the cylindrical portion 22b 1 and the prismatic part 22b 2 of said coupling part.
  • the coupling part 22b of the component 22 may have different shape from that exemplified and, consequently, also the coupling part 32 of the element 30 may be modified in accordance, without precluding the possibility of fast coupling way between the two parts.
  • the fastening device comprises additional fastening means, to secure a further skirting-board, which is the skirting-board 11 of Figure 1 , in a position substantially parallel to the lower part of the flank 9 of the appliance 1.

In this way, as will be clear in the following, the member 40 does not substantially cause a lateral amount of space in correspondence of the flank 9. Also the member 40 may be formed in a single piece of plastic material, such as an injection moldable thermoplastic material.
  • the coupling member 40 has a rear part, indicated overall with 41, having a respective back surface for the support against a vertical surface of the stationary structure of the machine 1.
  • the base part comprises a flap 41 a, provided with at least a hole passing through a fastening screw, following described.
  • a front part 42 is provided, the parts 41 and 42 being connected by at least one intermediate wall 43.

  • the fastening member 40 has two coupling seats 44a-44b generally vertical and in generally specular positions with respect to a vertical symmetrical plane of the fastening member 40.
  • the presence of two seats 44a-44b is particularly advantageous, since the same fastening member 40 can be used indifferently for fastening skirting-boards in correspondence of the right flank or the left flank of the machine 1, as will be clear in the following.
  • Figure 10 exemplifies the coupling or hooking condition of the fastening member 30 to the component 22, and precisely on the coupling part 22b of the latter.

  • the intermediate portion 33 of the fastening member 30 extends in the vertical direction more than modules 34 (that is, the first has a greater height than the latter), with the connecting parts 31 and 32 that are located respectively in an area generally lower and in an area generally higher of the portion 33.
  • the connecting part 32 can be above the modules themselves. This allows, for example, to position higher up the coupling section of the part 32, and then to have components 22 with lower supporting base 22a relatively large compared to the coupling portion 22b, in order to better fulfill the function of anti-overturning.
  • Figures 15-19 illustrate, with views substantially similar to those of Figures 9-14 , a possible sequence of mounting of a fastening device according to the previously mentioned preferred embodiment of the invention, in which the device is provided for fastening a front skirting-board and a lateral skirting-board.
  • connection part 32 (see Figure 5 ) of the fastening member 30 is coupled to the coupling portion 22b (see for example Figure 14 ) of the component 22, with the modality of elastic coupling or snap coupling, as previously described.

  • the possibility to separate one or more coupling modules 34 from the rest of the succession of modules of the member 30 allows to adapt the length of the connection part 31 of Figure 5 , that is to adapt its length depending on the position that the skirting-board 8 will assume relatively to the front of the lower part 6 of the machine 1.
  • the number of modules 34 of the succession will be still greater than that normally required for the purpose based on the typical dimensioning of the lower recess of the household appliances in order to provide certainly of at least one module 34 separable from the rest of the succession.
  • the device 1 is an appliance of the end furniture module, as in the case of Figure 1 , it can be used also the fastening member 40, if it intends to mount a lateral skirting-board 11 in correspondence of the flank of the appliance.
  • a fastening member 40 may possibly also be fixed in correspondence of the back of the appliance: therefore, where necessary deemed, a member 40 can be mounted in correspondence of the front of the machine, such as visible in figure 18 , and another component 40 mounted in a substantially similar manner in correspondence of the back of the stationary structure of the machine, in order to allow, if necessary, two anchorage areas for the side skirting-board 11.
